The final project was decently time intensive but it really depends on your group. Kate herself was a very kind and caring person.",

The weekly homework assignments weren't bad, but some of the SolidWorks assignments were annoying. \n\nIf you enjoy using SolidWorks, you should have no problem with this class. ",

When you get to Solidworks, use your lab time to get it done. They don't take long, but you will probably get stuck on something and having your TA to help is nice. Lots of opportunity for extra credit. ",
